Description

  The present invention provides a shelf such as a shelf or a pipe hanger that is detachably attached to a support member such as a side plate or shelf column (hereinafter collectively referred to as a side plate) of various objects with shelves such as merchandise displays and furniture. More particularly, the present invention relates to a shelf holder suitable for being attached to and detached from a circular hole of a side plate.

In general, a storage object with a shelf should be latched to a side plate of a storage object by being provided via a receiving body that receives the shelf board and a through-hole that penetrates a latching hole of the side plate of the storage object. It has a shelf holder made up of latching pieces (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). A pair of shelf holders are latched through opposing latching holes in the side plate of the storage object, and the shelf boards are placed between the pair of shelf holders.

  The shelf holder of Patent Document 1 (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 48-88221) is provided continuously on the rear side of the holder body (referred to as the shelf contact portion 3) and is provided with a side plate (referred to as the bearing rail 1). And a through portion (called a circular shaft portion 5) that passes through a retaining hole (called a circular hole 1 ") and a rear portion of the through portion. And a latching piece (referred to as a semicircular flange 6) that is latched on the back side of the side plate.

  Since the circular shaft part which is a penetration part engages with the inner peripheral surface of a latching hole, the shelf holder of this patent document 1 can be latched on a side plate in a stable state. Since it only penetrates the latching hole, there is a risk of displacement (circumferential angular displacement) in the latching hole, and the rear latching piece is placed behind the latching hole. It was difficult to hide, and there was a drawback that the attaching / detaching work was troublesome.

  The shelf holder disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent No. 4897902) includes a latch piece 34 that extends vertically through a flat penetrating portion behind the holder body 32. Since the receiving body 32, the penetrating portion and the latching piece 34 are formed by folding a single metal, the penetrating portion and the latching piece 34 have a flat shape.

  Therefore, as shown in the document, the shelf holder of Patent Document 2 is suitably used for a side plate (called a shelf column 20) having a latching hole in the form of a rectangular long hole. However, when it is used for a side plate having a latching hole in the form of a circular hole, there is a drawback that the shelf holder cannot be latched stably.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a shelf holder 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and the shelf holder 10 is shown in FIG. The side plate 2 of the storage object 1 is latched to the side plate 2 through a latch hole 3 having a circular portion, and a shelf plate 4 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B) or a hanger pipe 4P ( As shown in FIG. 8A) (hereinafter referred to as a shelf board 4 or the like), a receiving body 20 and an engaging portion 30 that penetrates the engaging hole 3 and engages the inner surface of the engaging hole 3 The latching piece 40 is provided integrally with the receiver body 20 via the portion 30 and should be latched to the back surface 2B of the side plate 2 via the latching hole 3. The shelf holder 10 may be made of metal or resin.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the shelf holder 10 is formed by punching a metal plate and then bending it so that the holder body 20, the engaging portion 30, and the latching piece 40 are integrally formed.

  The receiving body 20 is formed by bending so that both upper edges 20E face each other with an interval therebetween. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3, the both surfaces extend vertically and the upper and lower surfaces are arcuate. It has an oval cross section. The receiving body 20 is configured to receive the shelf board 4 and the like on the upper surface across the upper edge 20E with a gap. In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving body 20 has a semicircular cutout 20N as seen from the front at the center of the lower surface (see FIGS. 5A and 5B), and this cutout 20N will be described later. In addition, in order to make it easy to squeeze the engaging portion 30 and the latching piece 40, the receiving body 20 is provided with elasticity.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the latching piece 40 is located above the engaging portion 30 so as to be engaged with the back surface 2 </ b> B of the side plate 2 behind the engaging portion 30 that is engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the latching hole 3. A pair of retaining pieces that extend so as to protrude vertically on both sides of the engaging piece portion 40U that extends vertically and the lower portion 40L of the engaging piece portion 40U and to prevent the retaining piece 40 from coming out of the retaining hole 34. And a protruding portion 40P.

  The shelf holder 10 of the present invention has a curved surface portion having the same curvature as or substantially the same curvature as the retaining hole so that the engaging portion 30 can be engaged with the inner peripheral surface (circular portion) of the retaining hole 3. 30C (refer to FIG. 5C), and the curved surface portion 30C has a function of holding the shelf holder 10 by stably seating the shelf holder 10 in the hooking hole 3.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the curved surface portion 30C of the engaging portion 30 has a shape corresponding to the substantially upper half of the receiving body 20 as can be seen from FIG. 40L, in particular, as can be seen from FIGS. 1, 3 (B) and 5 (D), is similar to the curved surface portion 30C of the engaging portion 30 in the form corresponding to the substantially upper half of the receiving body 20. It is a curved surface portion 40LC. Therefore, the upper half part of the receiving body 20, the engaging part 30, and the lower part 40 </ b> L of the latching piece 40 are continuous with the same curved surface.

  Further, in the shelf holder 10 of the present invention, the receiving body 20, the curved surface portion 30 </ b> C of the engaging portion 30, and the lower portion 40 </ b> L (curved surface portion 40 </ b> LC) of the latching piece 40 can be flexed inwardly. Have sex. Accordingly, the engaging portion 30 of the shelf holder 10 is elastically engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the latching hole 3 while allowing angular displacement in the circumferential direction with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the latching hole 3. As described above, this elasticity is obtained by punching and bending the entire shelf holder 10 with a single metal plate. As can be seen from the drawings, the receiver body 20, the engaging portion 30, and the retaining piece 40 are formed by bending symmetrically. This elasticity can be maintained by the elasticity of the resin itself even if the shelf holder 10 is made of resin.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 5 (A), and 7, the shelf holder 10 has a notch 23 on the upper surface of the rear portion of the holder body 20 and the entire length of the engaging portion 30. The notch 23 is for facilitating the dipping piece 40 to be hidden in the holding hole 3 of the side plate 2.

  Next, a use state of the illustrated shelf holder 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 8, the shelf holder 10 is inserted into the latch hole 3 at a predetermined position of the side plate 2 of the stored object 1 from the upper end side of the latch piece 4 and latched on the side plate 2. In the illustrated example, the side plate 2 is composed of two inner and outer wall plates 21 and 22 which are integrated with a space therebetween as shown in FIG. It is formed in multiple stages before and after. In addition, when this side plate consists of one wall board, you may attach the hollow shelf pillar which has a multistage latching hole to the inner surface of a wall board.

  FIGS. 6 and 7 show the four shelf holders 10 in the four different stages of the latch holes 3 of the side plate 2 in different states, which is because the shelf holders 10 are directed from top to bottom. In order to facilitate understanding, the state of sequentially passing through the latching holes 3 is displayed on the latching holes 3 at different stages for convenience, and in fact, the same shelf holder 10 is attached to one latching hole 3. 6 and 7 should be understood to sequentially pass through the retaining holes 3 while changing from the top to the bottom.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the shelf holder 10 is first inserted into the hooking hole 3 from the tip of the hooking piece 40 (see the two steps above), and then the holder body 20 is touched with a finger. The engaging portion 30 is hooked while being squeezed so as to reduce the diameter of the engaging portion 30 and the lower portion 40L of the latching piece 40 and the notch 23 is engaged with the upper edge of the latching hole 3 and tilted left and right. The latch piece 40 is passed through the latch hole 3 and engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the latch hole 3, and the latch piece 40 is engaged with the inner surface (back surface) of the inner wall plate 31 of the side plate 3. 3 is inserted into the space between the inner and outer wall plates 31 and 32. The reason why the shelf holder 10 is tilted to the left and right when diving through the latching hole 3 is to allow the retaining projection 40P for retaining to penetrate through the latching hole 3.

  Thus, as shown in the lowermost stage of FIG. 7, when the shelf holder 10 is hooked through the latch hole 3, the semicircular engagement portion 30 is formed by the elasticity of the shelf holder 10. The shelf holder 10 is stably engaged with the side plate 2 by elastically engaging with the inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the latch hole 3. Therefore, the pipe hanger 4P and the shelf board 4 can be received as shown in the upper and lower parts of FIG. The pipe hanger 4P is shown to be composed of left and right receiving pipes 4PS received by the front and rear shelf holders 10 and hanger pipes 4PH fixed between the left and right receiving pipes 4PS.

  In the above embodiment, the upper half part of the receiver body 20, the engaging part 30, and the lower half part 40 </ b> L of the latching piece 40 are formed to be curved so as to have substantially the same curved surface. Then, while pressing the receiving body 20 with a finger, the penetrating portion 30 and the lower portion 40L of the latching piece 40 can be narrowed, which is preferable in terms of operation and easy to manufacture. Is not necessarily limited to having the same curved surface, but it is sufficient that at least the through portion 30 has a curved surface that can be engaged with the circular portion of the inner peripheral surface of the latching hole 3. 20 and the lower half 40L of the latching piece 40 may not be curved. In addition, the retaining hole 3 is circular in the illustrated form (see FIG. 8B), but this may be, for example, an elongated form having a circular portion on the upper edge, and is not necessarily required to be completely circular. Absent.

According to the present invention, the shelf holder can be stably latched to the side plate of the stored object through the latching hole, and can be easily inserted into the latching hole, so that it can be used in a high industrial manner. Have sex.
